Hello I have just rediscovered this antique ladies watch, it’s not working at the moment, thought I would post it as I might get to find out more about it, I don’t think I’ve come across the moser name on a watch and it seems quite fancy. I keep hearing these small watches are no longer popular as everyone wants dinner plate sized watches.
Your right about watches now. My son and grandson have Wall clocks on there wrists now.
Funny when our son was about 11 we got him a wristwatch with hands, he couldn't read the time!!
Now I guess they need a big one to see the Time!!
Stuff
Looking at the inside of watch, looks like someone was a little loose with a screwdriver? Maybe it's just the pic!!
Yeah a screw fell out of it when I opened it, the problem with big show watches is they have become a target for Robbers,
I wouldn’t feel comfortable wearing the watches I see younger people wearing
Looks like they've relaunched the brand in 2012.

"H. Moser & Cie. is a trademark of Moser Schaffhausen AG, a Swiss luxury watch manufacturer." Does that name sound familiar from your other watch..
This one claims it's very early? Not sure, definitely need to look into this watch more..may be something special?

Thanks dav great link, interesting
So moser I’m guessing was major in iwc as his name is on the watches, I guess he made the case for Rolex, interesting looking case very fancy, can’t believe the price some people are selling them for these days
